This episode explores the historical evidence for the story of Joseph in Egypt, specifically the famine recorded in Genesis. Egyptologists have found records of a massive migration into Egypt during the 19th century BC, including writings from Egyptian natives and wall paintings depicting foreign rulers coming to buy grain. The episode also examines the Bahr Yussef, or Canal of Joseph, an ancient irrigation channel that turned the Faiyum region into productive farmland and can still be seen on satellite imagery today. Pharaoh Amenemhat III considered this canal so important that he abandoned his Black Pyramid to build a new one right next to it. Whether you're new to the Bible or just curious about its historical claims, this video shows how archaeology lines up with Scripture. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.
